ASSEMBLY & PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION
IMPORTANT: Do not commence assembly of the trac-
tor until reading these instructions com-
pletely and carefully.
NOTE: For certain lubrication, adjustments, etc., refer
to appropriate section of this manual. All nuts,
bolts, etc., on these tractors are in METRIC di-
mensions.
The tractor is shipped in an individual container. The
tractor will be partially disassembled to make the con-
tainer as compact as possible. Wheels, steering, top
linkage, and some attaching hardware will be removed.
Larger items will be fastened in the container and the re-
mainder of items will be shipped in sundry boxes also in
the container.
To assemble and pre-deliver the tractor, proceed as fol-
lows:
CAUTION: Be observant of components
such as wheels that may be attached to, or
held in position by container panels.
1. Remove the top and four sides from container.
The easiest way to do this is to cut the corner
posts and uprights down near the base of the carte
with a circular saw. Then cut out rear 2x4 and cut
tie straps. The top and sides of the crate can then
be removed from the tractor.
2. Remove wheels and sundry boxes from the
container.
3. Inspect the tractor for damage and any evidence
of coolant, fuel or lubricant leaks.
4. Inspect and remove all hardware securing the
tractor to the lower crate panel.
5. Install the handle on the right hand fender if
removed.
6. Front Wheels-
a. Carefully raise and block the front of the tractor.
b. Install wheel / tyre assemblies and secure them
using bolts and lock washers. Tighten them to
102 Nm (75 ft-lbs).
c. Lower the front of the tractor.
7. Rear Wheels-
a. Carefully raise and block the rear of the tractor.
b. Install wheel / tyre assemblies and secure them
using bolts and lock washers. Tighten them to
102 Nm (75 ft-lbs.).
c. Lower the rear of the tractor.
NOTE: Turf wheels will be installed with the valve to
the inside. Wider position will prevent interfer-
ence with check chains.
8. Three-Point-Hitch-is partially assembled with the
lift rods attached the lower links and the sway
chain attached to the lower links.

and secure them with lynch pins. The lower
link with the adjustable lift rod goes on the right
side. The lower links will flare outward at rear
when correctly installed.
b. Connect clevis-end of the check chains to the
axle brackets and secure them with a clevis pin
and cotter pin.
